BEIJING, July 2 (Reuters) – China’s exports to the United States were up 5.4 percent in the first half of this year and rose 3.8 percent in June, China’s customs agency said in a statement late Monday.

China’s customs did not state the period of comparison in the brief statement on its website www.customs.gov.cn.

China’s stocks and currency continued to slide, with Washington and Beijing set to impose tariffs on each other amid an escalating trade dispute.
